Falling, Resonance and the Art of Confrontation Without Fighting
Where GFP Meets Play-Fight
There is a moment in every encounter when two bodies meet the unknown. Not through force, not through intention, but through a subtle gravitational pull — a soft invitation to fall, to listen, to stop interfering. From this moment, something rare becomes possible: a confrontation without violence, a play without superficiality, a mirror that reveals the quiet battles we carry inside.
This workshop explores that moment.
This workshop explores that moment.
The Gravitational Field Principle (GFP) offers the essential ground from which Play-Fight can unfold in its true, refined form. Through falling, yielding, and attuning to gravitational resonance, we learn to let the body reorganize without resistance. This sensitivity creates a quality of connection that is neither passive nor aggressive — a connection that listens. From this space, Play-Fight emerges not as friendly wrestling, but as an intimate dialogue of resonance. Here we do not fight each other; we reflect the inner fight — the compensations, tensions, and blind spots that shape our behavior.

Why This Format
An Embodied Invitation
In many practice spaces, the fusion of GFP and Play-Fight is already unfolding naturally.
This workshop simply makes the process conscious, accessible, and safe — a gateway for newcomers and a deepening for seasoned practitioners.

By entering through GFP, Play-Fight becomes:
- more sensitive
- more honest
- more effortless
- and profoundly transformative
This is a space to meet yourself through another.
To confront without aggression.
To play with sincerity.
To rediscover the intelligence of falling —
and the freedom that appears when nothing inside needs to fight anymore.

PARTICIPATION
Creator of Play-Fight and Liquid-Body practices as well as the founder of Formless Arts and GFP methodology.
Since 1985 Bruno has been studying and integrating various body-mind practices such as Capoeira, Acrobatics, Contact-Improvisation, Contemporary Dance, Qi-Gong, Russian Systema Watsu, Freediving, Butyeko Method and Oxygen Advantage.
Bruno has made his movement practices a "spiritual"path of self-knowledge and self-actualization, a way to connect to the essence of the being and to realize what human existence is about.

Bruno's first teaching experience was in 1995 as a facilitator of capoeira activities for the inmates of a psychiatric hospital. For a couple of years Bruno tried helplessly to follow an academic path through the studies of Psychology and Physiotherapy. However he grew skeptical upon noticing how the perspective and tendencies of his professional future was sneakily being shaped and imposed onto him.
In 2000 Bruno decided to take a radical decision and dropped out of his comfortable zone from a middle upper class in Rio de Janeiro to go wandering aimlessly alone in the Amazon rainforest. It was an important decision to consciously challenge the establishment at that time, not to conforme or succumb to the flow that society was trapping him into one very narrow life perspective. Such an action allowed Bruno to take the responsibility of his future and destiny back into his hands. Such an impulse led Bruno to leave everything he had behind, to merge into a huge dreadful unknown, facing his deepest fears. This amazonic experience profoundly transformed his perception towards life and death, work, purpose, relationships and even the meaning of love, fear and freedom.
Ever since the Amazon experience Bruno has become a wanderer sharing his visions, practices and philosophy all over the world in more than 35 countries. In these past 30 years Bruno has been committed to teach from a place of authentic, integrative and holistic cultivation, weaving and honoring nearly 40 years of knowledge accumulation he was gifted by coming across distinguished teachers and masters.
Alexander Solovev is one of those rare geniuses who has been directly transmitting to Bruno a concealed knowledge from ancient russian martial arts. The encounter with Alexander in 2016 had a major revolution on every level of Bruno's life and profession, particularly in the way of sharing the embodiment of a very unique falling principle.
Currently Bruno is undergoing a creative process in structuring his own methodology and pedagogy GFP (Gravitational Field Principle) with a clear purpose to bridge this unknown gravitational language to a broader audience. By seeing the effects of this principle applied into people's life beyond the classes contexts, Bruno has become convinced that GFP has the potential to become a deeply transformative tool, a powerful healing knowledge in the individual processes, inasmuch as all of us relate to gravity carrying inevitably the burden of functioning in its field 24/7.
